Company
History
The business idea was born when today's CEO Anja Graf managed her own modelling agency and was looking for furnished rooms for her models to stay in. However, these were difficult to find, so she decided to furnish apartments herself. When renowned companies became interested in her furnished apartments, the business idea was born. In 1999, she opened the first completely furnished apartment building in Zurich's Kreis 4 district and launched VISIONAPARTMENTS. Today, the company has over 20 years of experience in providing serviced accommodation.
